Pitess thou art and wilt not hearken,
Howe'er so humbly do thy suppants pray;
Thou wilt not tarry, though the morrow darken

Imprisonment and the Mind.
American Magazine.
To the ordinary mind, full of busy
schemes and plans for future good, in the
many active and fruitful years which peo-
pie are SO sure to remain to them, the
condition of one condemned TO die at the
hands of the law is inconceivable. To
the sick, Oftimes the restraint which
comes from their own weakness the irk-
someone's of inactivity, is harder TO bear
than all the agonies of pain and disease.
This is but the beginning with the prison
er. Withdrawn from all the interests of
the world, having no longer any part in
humanity, destined at fixed hour to
have the poor remnants of his pale and
shadowy life choked out of him at the
hands of the race of which he as once
member.

Japanese Politics.

S. Iwasaki, Japanese OF New York
city, writes to the World as follows: The
opening of a new pariiment in Japan is
approaching, and the Japanese govern
ment is now busying itself in taking
action in the mater. The erection OF
new buildings for the parliment, and
forming constitution, etc +, are the most
important. In the former case the
government sent out several architects,
accompanied by foreigners, to Europe.
In order to study the forms of building
In different countries. In the latter the
cabinet officers hold meetings regularly.
and the rough DRAFT of the constitution
Is brought up into the light of energetic
discussions al proper amendments.
1t is a recent rumor concerning parlia-
ment that the number of representatives
from each province, should be in pro-
Lort1on to Its population, not more than
one from every hundred thousand, and
that every representative must be a
person of real estate, the amount of lit
requirement being fixed by law. AS SO
the salary of the member of .arliament,
there are two opinions-that there will be
salary, and that 1000 Gems" (about 80
sents of this country will be provided for
each of them etc.
1t is well known to those that are in
terested in the matter in ia pan, that the
opening of parliament is in accordance
with one of the seven famous proclama
tions made by the present emperor at the
beginning of his reign. But this how
ever, was not brought up into discussion
until few years ago. when Mr.. (now
Count Itagak, and Mr.. (now Count Go
toh, raised up their banners and led the
men of politics toward the opening of
parliment and the declaration of birth
right.
By this act of the two leaders almost
the entire peopls of Japan were aroused
from the darkness OF depotism, to the
light of politi freedom. And then
political parties sprang up all over the
land, and great interest was taken in
politics throughout the empire. Petit
tians and supplications to the govern
ment were made by the people for the
opening of parliment, and for the elvva-
ton of the peoples rights; but the

some excited members of political par

Kind Words to Girls.
Pittsburg Sunday Traveller.

A word of advice to the young girls
Never contract acquaintance with strange
young men unless they come in com pany
with those with whom you are well ac-
quainted and in whom you place conf
dence. Even then be on your guard, and
see That the prophecies of life are not ex-
ceeded. There is not day but we read
in our exchanges of some poor girl who,
from her cOn6ding nature, has been
basely betrayed by some heartless scOun-
drel, and thus placed on the high road to
dishOnOr and ruin. The ibertine is al
ways cautious in his movements and sly
in his approaches to the human heart,
and unless his intended victim fOrtifies
herself by the principles of virtue and
refuses to place herself in his keeping,
except with honor, she is lost.
Girls, guard yourselves against the
vices and follies of the world, and let
purity of soul, integrity, virtue and honor
be your guiding star, and then, when age
comes upon you, you can read the book
of your life with pleasure, finding moth
ing written therein of which you would
be ashamed when it shall be opened in
the light of divine truth and read by
other beings than those which inhabit
this earth.
Girls, talk to the young men you meet
as unaffectedly as you do to the boy
friends of your brothers; or, if you have
no brothers, and therefore no brothers
friends, as you do to the neighbor lad,
who, may hap, ''does chores'' for your
father. Do not imagine when you meet
gentleman that your conversation must
be remarkable or unusual to be enter
tanning. The bearing of an intelligent,
gracious gentlewoman is one always to
be cultivated, but this should be your
everyday behavior. You should have no
cOmp 2ny manner.

Perhaps there is not another mill in the
world that has turned into the golfers of

has. From beneath it's stamps Mackay
